Then mail the completed form to:
Note: Touch a grounded metal object to free yourself of static electricity before you handle the card.
3. Choose an available PCI slot (either a 32-bit or a 64-bit slot) and remove the corresponding back plate from the PC chassis.
Caution: To avoid damaging any components on the card, handle it by the edges, using your thumbs to push it securely into the PCI slot. Make sure the card is fully inserted into the slot to prevent the PC operating system from freezing at startup. If you are inserting the card into a 32-bit slot, part of the connector edge on the card remains undocked. This situation is normal and does not affect the operation of the card. 5. Fasten the card to the rear of the computer chassis by tightening the screw that is on the PC. 6. Replace the PC cover and reconnect the power cord to the PC. Click on “Start” from the Windows desktop menu; select “Settings” and then “Control Panel.” The Control Panel window opens, displaying a group of icons including the Network icon.

Adapter Instance: To distinguish multimode network cards installed in the system, each is assigned a unique instance number. Typically, the first network card detected is instance 1, and the next is instance 2.
Agency Compliance
Bus: Shows on which PCI bus the network card is operating. The number shown is typically 0 for a system with up to 4 PCI slots on its bus. The number may be slightly higher for servers with more than 4 PCI slots. Click on the “Adapters” tab, and then click on “Add.” If there are any previously installed Model GA620 or Model GA620T Gigabit Ethernet Card drivers listed, the drivers must be updated (as outlined in “Updating the Driver Software” in Chapter 3 of Reference Guide for the Model GA620/GA620T Gigabit Ethernet Card). The Select Network Adapter window opens.
Slot: Shows the PCI slot number where the Gigabit Ethernet Card is installed. Link Negotiation Enabled
When checked (default): 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet Link Negotiation is used. All Model GA620 and Model GA620T Gigabit Ethernet Cards use Link Negotiation by default. When unchecked: Link Negotiation is disabled and only link signal detection is used. Use this setting when connecting to Gigabit Ethernet equipment that does not support Link Negotiation or if there is a problem establishing a link between the card and the connecting device. The link is set for 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. Be sure that the connecting device uses the same duplex mode and speed settings.
5.
Rx Flow Control Enabled
When checked (default) and link negotiation is enabled: The card negotiates 802.3x receive flow control with the device at the other end of the link. If 802.3x flow control is supported by the other device, receive flow control is enabled. When unchecked or link negotiation is disabled: Receive flow control is disabled.
Tx Flow Control Enabled
Click on “Have Disk.” The Insert Disk window opens.
When checked (default) and link negotiation is enabled: The card negotiates 802.3x transmit flow control with the device at the other end of the link. If 802.3x flow control is supported by the other device, transmit flow control is enabled. When unchecked or link negotiation is disabled, transmit flow control is disabled.
Jumbo Frames Enabled 6.
When unchecked (default), only standard-size Ethernet frames will be sent. Use this setting when connecting to Gigabit Ethernet equipment that does not support Jumbo Frames.
9. Click on “OK” to accept the changed parameters. The Network window opens. 10.Click on “Close.” If other cards in your server use TCP/IP bindings, the Microsoft TCP/IP Properties window opens. Set any necessary TCP/IP configurations, and then click on “OK” when finished. Insert the Model GA620/GA620T Gigabit Ethernet Card Driver and Documentation CD into the CD-ROM drive in your server when prompted. Type the path to the CD-ROM drive on your server, and then click on “OK.”
CHANGING CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
For example, you enter a different path depending on the system: • Enter the following path for the Intel driver: e=\
